The Rise of the Cemetery

After 8 consecutive days of busy work, the new cemetery city of Tarren Mill was finally established.

During this period, Li Xun also showed rare patience and perseverance, gritted his teeth and picked up all the homework he had left behind. Finally, on the seventh day, he ushered in his first spell-casting specialty: spell familiarity.

Spell Familiarity [Special Feat]

Prerequisite: Wizard 1st level

Effect: After long practice, you gain a feat for spellcasting classes that allows you to choose a number of spells known equal to your Intelligence modifier. Thereafter, you can prepare these spells without a spellbook.

Normal: Without this feat, you must use a spellbook to prepare all your spells except read magic.

With this spellcasting feat that any apprentice will get when he becomes a full-fledged mage, the owner of the feat can firmly engrave the basic structure of the spell model in his mind after a large number of proficient spellcasting, and use it in the future. There is no need to use spell books to assist.

Only when one is familiar with spells can one leave the heavy spell book and truly liberate the mage's hands, laying the foundation for various spell supermagic skills later.

Li Xun smiled bitterly.

What other people can get when they become a first-level mage, I barely get it at level 15, which makes people unhappy anyway. But he has no time to stay here today, because someone close to him is coming to Oneiros City.

...

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly in the city of Oneiros, and the weather was unprecedentedly fine.

With the return of the tower owner and the occupancy of many spellcasters, the Isidil Arcane Tower once again bloomed with its due vitality. Surrounding the Arcane Tower, in less than half a month, a new magic market has already taken shape.

Therefore, when the teleportation array in the square lit up again, the mage apprentice Kokar was already standing respectfully outside the teleportation array.

After a while, the space ripples caused by the teleportation gradually dissipated in the magic circle, and a young mage with a pale complexion appeared in the teleportation circle.

"Excuse me, is your Excellency Master Jack?" Kocal asked respectfully.

"I am. You are?"

Jack took a few deep breaths, and managed to suppress the feeling of dizziness. He raised his head and looked suspiciously at the mage apprentice waiting here.

"Hello, respected Mage Master Jack. I am Kocal, a mage apprentice, and I am ordered to wait for your arrival here. Your teacher, Master Li Xun, will meet you in the Mage Tower!" Kokar replied with a smile on his face.

Jack leaned back slightly, looked up at this tall and magical tower, and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart, and a look of unconcealable excitement appeared on his calm and immature face who had just experienced it.

It has only been half a year since they separated, and the teacher has already won a mage tower in the mage kingdom, and has a place to settle down. If it wasn't for the teacher's mage mark left in the magic message sent back, Little Jack would not have believed it anyway.

Thinking of the surprise and ecstasy when I first received the magic message, thinking of the noisy scene when all the familiar mages came to congratulate me, thinking of the astonishment and disbelief on the face of a high-ranking mage when I proposed to borrow the teleportation array from the Principality's Mage Association, Even though he is now standing at the gate of the mage tower, a kind of illusion that is both illusory and real still bothers him.

Like a marionette, he followed the mage apprentice into the mage tower. Looking at the apprentices' short robes coming and going, and hearing the respectful greetings from the other party, Jack woke up like a dream, and finally realized the reality of the scene in front of him. imaginary.

The gentle and beautiful Princess Siris met Little Jack in the living room on the second floor. The two parties have met many times in the Principality of Novus, and this time they met in a different place is even more cordial. Hearing Little Jack's "teacher's wife" call, although her cheeks were slightly drunk, Siris accepted it calmly, and briefly introduced him to the basic situation of this mage tower (arcane tower).

While the two were chatting cordially, Siris suddenly raised her eyebrows, her face lit up with joy.

"Jack, your teacher is back!"

As soon as the words fell, the two sides were rippling in the void, and a hazy human figure changed from light to dark, finally revealing the appearance of a young mage.

"Teacher!" "You're back!"

The two cordial greetings made Li Xun who hurried back feel warm in his heart. After a simple nod, he pulled Jack into the sofa and asked about the general situation after the breakup.

Although the Hellfire following Little Jack could also send back some messages, it's a pity that Li Xun, who was busy all day long, didn't have the time to browse them one by one, so he listened patiently and meticulously to Jack's explanation.

Through Little Jack's introduction, Li Xun learned that the current situation of Novus Principality is not good, and it can be said that it is struggling. With such a notorious neighbor as the Undead Council, there is no kingdom that is not worried.

Although there is no news of the invasion of the undead due to the unattainable Avili mountains and the strict defense of the Principality's army, it still brings great trouble to the Principality.

Two years ago, the refugee wave was almost spread to the Principality by the Undead Council. This has fully proved that these damn skeletons really have a vicious plan to swallow Novus into their stomachs. Therefore, the whole Principality mobilized with all their strength, and by virtue of the steepness of Thunder Fortress and the presence of legendary mages, they blocked the undead's way to the north.

Even at this moment, there are still nearly a million undead corpses gathered under the wall of Thunder Fortress facing the Undead Council. They have been blocking the pass for many years, like a vicious dog guarding the gate, guarding the north gate for the Undead Council.

If the Principality of Novis hadn't cleared them in advance, there would be no way to enter the undead-occupied area.

So, the two sides have come to a stalemate.

As a contract mage of the principality, Jack also garrisoned in Thunder Fortress for a period of time. The only leisure hobby in the day is to stand on the towering city wall of Thunder Fortress with a group of low-level mages, throwing fireballs at the heads of dense crowds of corpses. In this way, you can not only practice your spell proficiency, but also reduce the number of corpses outside the fort bit by bit.

And from time to time, some high-level undead such as vampires and ghost banshees will sneak into Thunder Fortress. They often raid the outer sentry posts to plunder some living people as their own blood food, so standing guard in such an environment is indeed a very dangerous thing.

Little Jack was "fortunate" to experience several such attacks. But fortunately, with the protection of Hellfire, not only did he not suffer any damage, but he also made gains one after another, laying a solid foundation for him to be promoted to level 2.

In such a see-saw attack where you come and go, the two sides have maintained some tacit understanding, and neither intends to advance the war to an irreversible state of war.

Li Xun squinted his eyes and listened carefully, while combining the information he had obtained through other channels, he silently studied and judged the movement of the Undead Council. Although he has left the Principality of Novus now, his affection for it is still very deep. Whether it's Casas who has been traveling together for a while, or the simple farmers in Hongmu Village and Dayan Village, they are all people he cares about relatively.

Soon, Jack went to the magical residence arranged for him under the guidance of Siris. After all, this was a completely new environment, and he really needed to get used to it for a while.

Li Xun intentionally asked Little Jack to take charge of the external affairs of the Arcane Tower as his disciple, and liberate Siris from it. Since Siris has the title of a genius magical girl since she was a child, she has something to be admired in terms of spell talent. It is undoubtedly a huge waste to tie her down to the worldly things that welcome and send.

Whether it is the Klein Continent or the cemetery system, it is a real world dominated by power. Only by mastering the unparalleled power of others can we ensure that our vested interests will not be violated.

An orthodox mage only has the time and energy to expand and manage secular forces only if he concentrates on becoming a great mage and has performed life extension rituals. Until then, any mage who strays from this path is forsaken by time.

History has proved that many great alchemy masters, enchanting masters, and puppet masters who were short-lived in the history books often ignored meditation, the accumulation of mana, and the collection and study of knowledge because of their personal research preferences. He failed to reach level 16 before his lifespan was exhausted, and finally fell into a race against time.

So out of love for Siris, Li Xun does not intend to let her become the spokesperson of the cemetery in human society, but to continue to live the ideal life of a mage in her mind. Even many times, Li Xun wanted to find an opportunity to pull her into the cemetery system, and he could also quickly climb the level by plundering soul energy.

However, the restraint and control in the magic blood contract made Li Xun worried. For his lover, he does not want to add the slightest external restraint, but to keep the two of them in this state of mutual attraction. However, instead of fully incorporating her into the cemetery's soul system, and relying solely on the soul authority given to her to intervene in the cemetery's management, it has always been difficult to gain the deep approval of those cemetery heroes.

If such a gap is not resolved early, it may cause considerable inconvenience later.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Xun decided that after a period of training, both Siris and Little Jack would find opportunities to be included in the cemetery's soul system. Although as a foreign hero, Li Xun can control their life and death and everything through the magic blood contract, but as a relative and friend, he also secretly vowed in his heart that he would never use magic power to restrict their independent choices.

So that night, Li Xun brought Siris, who readily agreed, to the Undercity to complete the attunement of foreign heroes. It's a pity that foreign heroes like Zena and Siris are all individuals with strong and complete souls, and it is impossible to instill any new soul templates into them, otherwise the two souls will inevitably conflict and backfire because of their independent consciousness.

As for Little Jack, he also drank the soul guide without any doubt during the young mage's flickering. In his opinion, this is just a new spell experiment by his teacher. The last magic experiment turned him from a mage apprentice who could never advance to a full-fledged mage, so this time, there must be more benefits waiting for him to taste.

During the whole process, Little Jack didn't show any resistance or doubt, and always maintained an excited mood. This also fully demonstrated his unreserved trust in the young mage!

For such a simple relationship, Li Xun also regards it as a treasure.
